Brewing methods
Okay kiddo, so when you want to make a yummy cup of coffee or tea, there are different ways you can do it. These different ways are called brewing methods. It's like different ways of cooking your favorite food.
One way is called "drip brewing." You put some grounds (that's what we call the coffee or tea leaves) in a special filter and then pour hot water over them. The water goes through the grounds and drips down into a pot or cup below.
Another way is called "French press." You put the grounds directly into a special container and then pour hot water over them. Then you use a plunger to press down on the grounds and separate them from the liquid.
There's also "espresso," which uses a fancy machine that pumps really hot water through tightly packed grounds to make a strong and flavorful coffee.
And then there's "cold brew." This method is where you put grounds in cold water and let it sit for a long time – sometimes as long as 24 hours – to make a delicious iced coffee.
So, those are some of the different brewing methods! Depending on which one you choose, you can make coffee or tea that tastes differently, but all of them can be yummy in their own way.
